Name
====

VIDIOC_G_SLICED_VBI_CAP - Query sliced VBI capabilities


Synopsis
========

.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_G_SLICED_VBI_CAP, struct v4l2_sliced_vbi_cap *argp )
    :name: VIDIOC_G_SLICED_VBI_CAP


Arguments
=========

``fd``
    File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.

``argp``
    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_sliced_vbi_cap`.


Description
===========

To find out which data services are supported by a sliced VBI capture or
output device, applications initialize the ``type`` field of a struct
:c:type:`v4l2_sliced_vbi_cap`, clear the
``reserved`` array and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_G_SLICED_VBI_CAP <VIDIOC_G_SLICED_VBI_CAP>` ioctl. The
driver fills in the remaining fields or returns an ``EINVAL`` error code if
the sliced VBI API is unsupported or ``type`` is invalid.

.. note::

   The ``type`` field was added, and the ioctl changed from read-only
   to write-read, in Linux 2.6.19.

      - :cspan:`2` The number of VBI lines the hardware can capture or
	output per frame, or the number of services it can identify on a
	given line may be limited. For example on PAL line 16 the hardware
	may be able to look for a VPS or Teletext signal, but not both at
	the same time. Applications can learn about these limits using the
	:ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` ioctl as described in
	:ref:`sliced`.

    * - __u32
      - ``type``
      - Type of the data stream, see :c:type:`v4l2_buf_type`. Should be
	``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_SLICED_VBI_CAPTURE`` or
	``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_SLICED_VBI_OUTPUT``.
    * - __u32
      - ``reserved``\ [3]
      - :cspan:`2` This array is reserved for future extensions.

	Applications and drivers must set it to zero.

Return Value
============

On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.

EINVAL
    The value in the ``type`` field is wrong.
